Over the weekend, I’ve just listened to the rest of the Ozzy era Black Sabbath albums on Apple Music. While I’ve been a longtime Sabbath fan, I’ve only heard a few Ozzy era Sabbath albums like their first album, Paranoid, Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, Masters of Reality, Sabbath Vol. 4, and their latest album 13. I got around to listening to the rest of Ozzy era Sabbath albums over the weekend: Sabotage, Technical Ecstasy, and Never Say Die.

All Ozzy Sabbath albums are really great but I think their best albums are: Paranoid, “Sabbath Bloody Sabbath”, “Sabbath Vol. 4” and their new one “13”. I would say their newest album, “13” would be my favorite ’cause it is a really great album.

So far there are only 9 Ozzy era Sabbath albums and their planning to end their career with a 10th Ozzy album which is perfect to end their career on.

Black Sabbath went through 8 singers over the years but it’s pretty appropriate to end their career with Ozzy as frontman since he helped started the band.

I can’t wait for Sabbath’s next album. I think their next record is gonna sound different than 13 ’cause remember… Black Sabbath always liked to sound different in every album they did. You never know what they have in store for their next record. Each album they do, they usually do like 7 or 8 tracks ’cause they always write pretty long songs. I’m sure their next record is gonna be great like always. It’ll be full of tasteful riffs by Tony ’cause he is the riffmaster.

Black Sabbath has a total of 19 albums so they’ll be ending their career on their 20th album which is good. Sabbath had a good run. It’s sad that they have to end this soon but Tony’s health isn’t getting any better. I’m a huge Sabbath fan though and respect the hell out of Tony Iommi ’cause he’s a favorite guitarist of mine.

Hopefully they give us a heavy album for their next record. Give fans what they want before they go out.

As for the other singers in Sabbath goes, I was only a fan of the Ozzy era and the Ronnie James Dio era. The Dio era in Sabbath was great too. I never listened to much of all the other singers but I should check ’em out, though.

Yesterday, Bill Ward of Black Sabbath posted this. Still bitching about that “signable” contract in order for him to re-join…

Ozzy responds, calling Bill Ward out and even went as far as bashing him publicly… read it here, it’s actually pretty funny and I can totally see him saying this in his typical Ozzy voice…

I don’t know too much about the industry and all but from what I understand, there is no “signable” contract when playing in bands in the national industry is there? I don’t think so. I don’t think members sign on to join bands. When people join bands in the major labels, the musicians ask if you wanna join and that’s it. I believe there is nothing “signable”. When legendary bands reunite, they don’t sign anything. They just get together just like any band would, ya know?

So I think Bill is full of shit when he claims he should sign a negotiable contract. I think he’s definitely has something to hide like his health problems like Ozzy has been saying.

I wish fans would wake up, get themselves educated and stop siding with Bill ’cause they shouldn’t trust him either. Bill is just being a greedy douchebag and I’ve been saying that ever since this feud started. The guys in Sabbath will welcome Bill back in the band anytime, Bill is just being greedy and difficult about it. Ozzy and Bill are both telling their sides of the story.

Why can’t Bill stop this “signable” contract bullshit and just play? Isn’t that what music is about is playing for the love of it? Maybe Ozzy is right that Bill is just using his “signable” contract excuses as a cover for his health problems.

I feel a big lawsuit battle coming. Who’s gonna sue first?
